Can you recommend a URL that lists these, as I'm trying to
convince a
sceptic that the world's temperature *is* rising.

Hi Paul

It depends how much your sceptic knows.

He's an American who is convinced that Kyoto/Global Warming is
nothing
more than a scam to undermine American industry.

How sharp is he? Ask him to put himself in the position of
the Chief Exec of a large American oil corporation.
He is 50; he's got ten years or so left in business. How would
he react to information which indicated the certainty of a
progressive global warming, but which would not have
significant repercussions until some undefined time in the
future (though probably not within ten years)?

I think you know what the answer should be. His answer
will also tell you if he is honest.
